DISCUSSION
The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is a federally funded
program, which provides construction funds for proj ects to improve
traffic and pedestrian safety, such as traffic signals and signage
upgrades. The State of California Department of Transportation has
issued a call for projects for the Highway Safety Improvement Program
(HSIP) for Federal FY 2006/2007 and FY 2007/2008.
Staff is requesting authorization to submit eleven projects for HSIP
funding for FY 2007/2008 (Exhibit 1). Given the need for these
improvements, staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution
supporting federal funding of these projects and authorizing the
Executive Director of the Public Works Agency to submit the designated
projects for funding consideration.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Environmental reviews will be conducted for those projects that receive
funding and will be presented to the City Council when the construction
contract(s) is awarded. These types of projects typically qualify for
Categorical Exemptions.
